Soon

There is a shop in our street that has been closed for for the past few months but has also, for some time already had a note stuck on the door which says "opening soon". How long does "soon" take? Three weeks from now we hope to have greeted many of you as you step off the ferry onto the isle of Iona, 3 weeks from now we hope to be married! How we have looked forward to this month and now it is upon us!

It feels like 3 weeks is nothing compared to the many months that we have been looking forward to our travels, our visit to Iona, the ceremony and celebrations.... the start to life after that. At the same time we are looking forward to a lot of socialising in the Netherlands in the coming weeks before we make our way to Scotland. There is so much between now and then and there, that soon feels like it's going to be jam-packed to the brim and not very soon at all.

What a paradox time is. Right now all seems organised, all seems ready and yet we know we have forgotten something! Oh patience! I can't wait to meet our newest nephew. I can't wait to see my sister pregnant. Oh siblings! parents, friends, family. Oh Iona. Wish we were there.

Until then.
